Parking Fine Euro Car Park - Incorrectly Keyed Registration Plate ?!
Options
gased
Posts: 1 Newbie
I purchased a ticket and left within my time frame of 2 hours no problem.
Euro Carparks sent me a fine, having appealed they replied saying appeal failed! ...theyare saying that it was a keying issue with my registration into the machine.
I have the ticket as evidence - it does only show the first 3 characters of my Registration (I don't know why) I do remember the machine being a bit weird but I thought I had done it correctly.
I have my payment on apple pay as evidence.
I have my bank statement as payment evidence.
In the reply from Euro Car Parks they are suggesting I can pay 20 pounds and the case will be closed.... BUT WHY SHOULD I!
I paid the for the ticket I left in the time, I have the evidence EXCEPT there is an apparent keying issue regards my number plate. The parking company have had my 1.50 they have not suffered loss.
I have taken the option to appeal to POPL but I am worried and it is effecting my anxiety bad! - I dont know what to do.

This is why ... the machine failed:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdeln2ly1z0o.ampLots of news articles this year about Euro Car Parks and Excel P&D machines accepting any digits then moving on to the payment screen.
DO NOT BOTHER WITH POPLA. You'll lose because it's not fully independent or fair.
Ignore the £170 threatograms. See the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread.
Tell Euro if you move house. Check every letter and laugh. Relax! Come back if you get a DCB Legal LBC. See the 2nd post of the NEWBIES thread.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
